Needing to post to the biggest subscriber comms is a bit of a holdover from Reddit imo.
Here on the Lemmy-verse we’re not really big enough for it to matter (excluding other factors like a comm being on a… controversial…instance)
Take this post for example, I just started this comm yesterday because the only existing version at the time was a .ml version. But yet, this post is more than double upvotes than the .ml version which is (on paper) magnitudes more established.
And this really goes beyond the .ml boycott, if more posted to smaller instances/comms and ignored the Subscriber count in general, the Lemmy-verse would be far more healthier lol
Lol notifications are a wonderful thing, crossposted as part of on-going boycott efforts of the .ml instance, recap
Fair enough, I just went to the biggest Discworld instance.

I get that. I feel the same way about reposting other people’s content without credit.
Was this OC? You should have mentioned that earlier, I have edited this post with a boycott-compatible accreditation.
